There's some logic behind that, since it's common in Japan to use 24-hour time in most public information displays... but if we were to follow that standard, wouldn't it be better done at a national level? Whichever way it goes, is this worth reverting? [[User:BigPeteB\|BigPeteB]] 09:49, 25 April 2012 (EDT)

	I've been studying in Japan for a little over two months and most of this advice is spot-on. Hub is a great no-hassle bar, Roppongi is shady and foreigner infested, and the food suggestions are great. One thing that I would argue is that Love Hotels are not as shady as this article makes them out to be. They are actually very clean and nice places to stay for couples. Every hotel is different and every room inside the hotel is different.

 :: I ♥ maps.  Couple of additional thoughts: right now, we've got Koto as part of [[Tokyo/East]] instead of a separate article; it ''could'' be separated out (it's really the only ward in East that's got any worthwhile listings at all), but I'd rather keep it as is.  Regarding the overlaid details, perhaps the highways could be de-emphasized and the railways made more prominent?  I assume any sensible visitor isn't going to drive, so the highways aren't part of the mental map to the extent that the Yamanote is.
 :: By and large, the listings in the subdistricts are clustered around their respective stations, or are something easily separated like [[Tokyo/Odaiba|Odaiba]] -- which I think means we don't necessarily need to draw precise boundaries to keep them understandable.  The maps could use arbitrary lines, or fuzzy lines, or even no lines and simply give the subdistrict names in smaller type. - [[User:Dguillaime|Dguillaime]] 15:47, 10 November 2009 (EST)

 Perhaps it would be relevant to include the fact that Tokyo is the city with the most number of Michelin stars in the world - almost double that of Paris. This is because many potential visitors are into such things and there are always gourmets among tourists. Tango {{unsigned|82.27.181.79|13:07, 2008 February 20}}

−	The four entries below were added to the ''Buy'' section of Tokyo. Since they aren't Buy, I removed them, but am parking them here for now. Some of this could be added to the ''do'' sections of the relevant districts. Thanks, [[User:Ted\|Ted]] 17:37, 1 September 2010 (EDT)

−	*Places like Kichijoji (on the Chuo Line heading west from Shinjuku) hosted a number of jazz clubs in the past, and still has a reputation for it's venues, as well as 'harmonica yokocho,' an area across from the main exit that is a labyrinth of outdoor and indoor restaurants crammed in and stacked on top of each other.
−
−	*Also, Koenji (also Chuo Line, two stops East from Kichijoji) has a reputation as being the hard rock/metal/hardcore/experimental music area west of Shinjuku, and has several practice studios, mom & pop guitar shops & repair shops run out of tiny ground level apartments crammed together near the train tracks.
−
−	*Shibuya is for the 20-something urban club-goer, with everything from classy to trashy clubs specializing in R&B and Hip-Hop/Rap, and smaller clubs with multitudes of house DJ's playing any night of the week. The classier side of club-life would be closer to Aoyama, where affluent Tokyoites and international aspiring models dress up to show off while the playlist is whatever is trendy that summer.
−
−	*Roppongi being similar to Shibuya in it's foreigner-friendly atmosphere, is different from Shibuya in the age group and economic group represented. Things are pricier in Roppongi, and some clubs have even rejected guests based on appearance. But as with many places, it depends on where you go. One club found on the top floor of the Mori building boasts an amazing view of the city lights with guest DJ's being flown in every month from overseas.
